The Come-from-Behind Kings (Tambo) : 5

Robina City                                               : 5

23rd May, Long Rd Sports Ground

The 'Come-from-Behind kings'; the suggested new name for our Tamborine Mtn U13 division 1 side. Unlike in Murwillumbah, Tamborine scored the first two goals, making it 2-0. Then, it looked like, Tamborine paid the price for overconfidence! Robina City scored four goals in the first half: after Tamborine scored their first two goals!

At half-time - with the score at 4-2 in Robina's favour - Coach Joe stated, 'we did it (come-from-behind) against Murwillumbah, we can do it again today!' No-one argued with that!

For the first twenty minutes of the second half, Robina stayed strong. Then, as if on cue, Clancy opened the scoring for the second half ( for Tamborine). Then, Conor tapped in a deflection off Robina's goalkeeper to take the score to 4-all! Straight after Robina's kickoff, a deflected ball rolled to Bailey. Taking his chances from half way, he smashed the ball in the direction of the goal. There was a loud 'Ohhh!' from the crowd as the ball sailed through the air; the wind behind it. No-one could believe it when it hit the inside of one post - still in the air - and nestled into the back of the net! And weren't Tamborine and the crowd elated! The cheering continued non-stop for twenty seconds! 5-4 with four minutes to go. 3 goals scored in six minutes! However, an amazing corner kick and a great heada delivered the relief for Robina. As the final whistle blew, Tambo weren't that disappointed in not winning, but happy to take home one point instead of none! A great match!

Tamborine are playing Coomera tomorrow, and we don't know what to expect!
